I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 171 Settlement
Xiaxu, Tongfu Inn.

Zhang Yuan, who had just checked in, closed the door and put his luggage aside.

He planned to stay in the city for a few days and make plans after getting familiar with the situation in the ruins.

Because I have plenty of money.

So Zhang Yuan booked a room upstairs.

The price of the guest rooms is not cheap, and the conditions are just so-so, but it's okay.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and unbuttoned his coat.

He took off the treasure map attached to his chest.

This treasure map obtained from Hunter Gao once helped Zhang Yuan obtain the Red Blood Divine Weapon hidden in Qianfeng Mountain.

After obtaining the treasure, the map above will automatically disappear.

Quite magical.

It is precisely because of its peculiarity that Zhang Yuan suspects there is something else behind it.

I have always kept it close to my collection.

It usually has no effect on him.

However, when he arrived at Xiaxu today, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that the treasure map seemed to have "come alive".

Conveying some kind of message to him.

It just wasn't convenient at the time.

Zhang Yuan didn't take it down to check until now.

As a result, he discovered that a new map appeared on this treasure map that had originally become blank.

And a striking treasure sign!
it is as expected!
Zhang Yuan's hunch was correct.

This treasure map obviously has similar characteristics to the God's Nest.

As long as treasure appears nearby, it immediately triggers the display, guiding the holder to find the treasure.

Once the treasure is unearthed.

Then the treasure map will automatically clear the screen and wait for the next refresh!

Zhang Yuan felt that not every treasure could gain its favor - certain conditions must be met to trigger it.

For example, precious treasures!

Zhang Yuan's gaze fell on the refreshed treasure map.

He saw it at a glance.

The new map shown above is Xiaxu!

The treasure sign is located in Dongxu near Zhongxu, indicating that it is underground.

Quite deep underground.

However, what puzzled Zhang Yuan was that the logo was actually moving!
To make sure he was not seeing things, he stared at the treasure mark for a whole incense stick of time.

Make sure the treasure is moving.

This is very interesting!

Treasure, as the name suggests, is a hidden treasure.

How could the treasure house move?

Zhang Yuan was puzzled.

After thinking it over, he stuck the treasure map back to his chest.

New treasures are certainly tempting.

But it is not what Zhang Yuan urgently needs at the moment.

He is not greedy.

For Zhang Yuan, who had just arrived in Xiaxu, the most urgent task at the moment was to settle down and gain a foothold.

We will slowly study and explore the treasure later.

Even if someone gets there first, he won't regret it!
In the next few days, Zhang Yuan traveled all over the city and parts of the outer city areas.

Gained an intuitive understanding of Xiaxu.

During this period, he encountered more than a dozen incidents, big and small, including gang fights, martial arts disputes, and martial arts fights.

People are used to this and stay away from it once something happens.

Few people gathered to watch the fun.

After this in-depth field visit, Zhang Yuan finally chose Waixu as his place of residence.

An area close to Taiwu Mountain and Changtian River!
There are houses for sale in Xiaxu. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy a house in very good condition.

But the environment in the five ruins within the city is very complex.

There are numerous gangs, a mixed bag of good and bad, and people from all walks of life are countless.

It's very unfriendly to Zhang Yuan.

The most important thing is that his first choice for seclusion must be a place near water! There are no suitable conditions in Xiaxu City.

On the fifth day after arriving in the ruins, Zhang Yuan came to the outside of the city with a team of craftsmen and two ox carts.

The ox carts were loaded with various tools and building materials.

The place he chose to stay was ten miles west of the ruins city.

This is a "no man's land" area and has not been occupied by any gang.

The densely packed stone and wooden houses formed a huge settlement, which was as messy as a slum due to the lack of planning, and the roads were muddy and dilapidated.

Most of the people living in this area are fierce and violent, and there are few women and children.

They looked at Zhang Yuan and others passing by with vigilant and indifferent eyes.

There were some greedy glances mixed in.

Zhang Yuan was leading his mount, which was loaded with a large amount of luggage. It was obvious that he was quite wealthy.

It's normal to attract covetousness.

Zhang Yuan was not surprised by this. He responded to those malicious gazes with a fierce look.

At the same time, he revealed the aura of a third-level Hua Jin master!

Suddenly, more than half of those disgusting looks disappeared.

Zhang Yuan walked inside with the hired craftsmen.

We didn't stop until we reached the river.

This place is already on the edge of the "slums", and the nearest house is a hundred steps away.

"Master Lu..."

He said politely to a white-haired old craftsman: "You are an expert, you choose the place."

This team of craftsmen was hired by Zhang Yuan through a brokerage firm in the city.

It is said that they built houses quickly and well.

Zhang Yuan also purchased a batch of materials needed for building the house.

The old craftsman walked around with his hands behind his back, and finally chose a location: "Here is it."

Zhang Yuan naturally had no objection: "Okay!"

"Work begins!"

Under the command of Master Lu, more than a dozen strong craftsmen immediately began construction.

Some were responsible for leveling the foundation, while others were responsible for cutting wood and quarrying stones. With clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, the construction speed was quite fast.

In just three or four days, three simple yet sturdy stone houses were built.

Then Zhang Yuan bought furniture from the city and decorated the room.

The craftsmen built a high wall around the stone house and installed doors and windows.

It only took seven days.

Zhang Yuan’s new home was completed!

The efficiency is really high.

This house is definitely more magnificent than the houses nearby.

But it won't stand out too much.

Zhang Yuan plans to plant some climbing plants inside and outside the yard so that he can blend into the surrounding environment better in the future.

After paying the balance to the craftsman, he moved into his new home.

Although this house is still very simple.

Zhang Yuan was very satisfied.

In fact, Master Lu did not recommend him to live in such a remote place near the mountains.

Because there are strange things hidden in the mountains, danger can easily occur.

But Zhang Yuan had his own plans.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Just as he was walking around in his new home, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Zhang Yuan's heart moved, and he went over and opened the gate.

I saw a man in a gray shirt standing in front of the door, about thirty years old.

Seeing Zhang Yuan, the other party clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "My friend, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm Qu Hong, the manager of Xishanji. Can I have a chat with you?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and made an inviting gesture: "Please come in."

The lawless area where he is now settled is called "Xishanji".

As for the so-called person in charge, Zhang Yuan roughly understood the meaning.

He had already anticipated this person's appearance!
